Definitions

  • This invention relates to Rankine cycle engines and to improved methods of operation whereby catalytic oxidation of a major proportion of the fuel takes place in the boiler section of the engine.
  • the Carnot cycle is the most efficient heat engine which for a wet vapour consists of four stages. Heat is supplied to the working fluid at constant temperature and pressure followed by isentropic expansion of the vapour. In the third stage heat is rejected isothermally and finally the fluid is isenthropically compressed. This theoretical cycle cannot be followed in practise and the modified cycle is called the Rankine cycle which is less efficient.
  • the basic machinery for this type of engine comprises a boiler, an expander (means for allowing the working fluid to expand), a condenser and a feed pump.
  • An object of the present invention is to produce a Rankine cycle engine in which the boiler unit comprises a catalytic combustor, such that the engine may be used in conditions where there are limits on noise, pollutants, in exhaust gases and flamable substances.
  • the boiler unit of a Rankine cycle engine includes a catalytic combustor having a thermally stable and oxidation resistant monolith containing a multiplicity of flow paths and channels constituting or supporting a catalyst for the catalytic combustion of the combustible gases and injected fuel.
  • the boiler unit of the Rankine cycle engine comprises:
  • a catalytic combustor section comprising a temperature stable oxidation resistant monolith, the monolith providing catalytic channels for contact with and passage of the gases combined with injected fuel at stage (c) such that catalytic combustion of the uncombusted fuel takes place but in which a pressure drop of 10% or less is produced, and
  • the temperature of the air is between 0° C. and 600° C. and at a pressure within the range 1 atmosphere to 20 atmospheres.
  • the pilot burner burns up to approximately 5% by weight of the total fuel consumption of the engine at fuel power.
  • the proportion of the fuel utilised by the pilot burner during normal running may range from 0.16% by weight to 662/3% by weight.
  • the fuel injection for the pilot burner (b) is able to control the quantity of fuel and is adjusted primarily to give a temperature within a specific preferred range in the combustion section (d).
  • a typical preferred temperature range in the combustion section is 200° C. to 500° C.
  • the remainder of the fuel is injected into the gaseous stream, in section (c), by one or more fuel injectors, the number of which and their configuration will be dependent on the condition of operation of the engine.
  • the monolith in section (d) is metallic and is formed from one or more metals selected from the group comprising Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir and Pt.
  • metals selected from the group comprising Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir and Pt.
  • base metals may be used or base metal alloys which also contain a platinum group metal component may be used.
  • the walls of the metallic monolith preferably have a thickness within the range 2-4 thousandths of one inch.
  • the preferred characteristics of the metallic monolith having catalyst deposited thereon are (i) that it presents low resistance to the passage of gases by virtue of its possession of a high ratio of open area to blocked area and (ii) that it has a high surface to volume ratio.
  • a typical 200 cells per square inch ceramic monolith has walls 0.008-0.011 inches thick, a 71% open area and a 15% pressure drop.
  • a typical 400 cells per square inch metallic monolith of the present invention has walls 0.002 inches thick, a 91-92% open area and a 4% pressure drop.
  • a 200 cell per square inch metallic monolith has a 95% open area and a pressure drop of 4% or less.

  • Base metals which may be used are those capable of withstanding rigorous oxidising conditions.
  • Examples of such base metal alloys are nickel and chromium alloys having an aggregate Ni plus Cr content greater than 20% by weight and alloys of iron including at least one of the elements chromium (3-40)wt.%, aluminium (1-10)wt.%, cobalt (0-5)wt.%, nickel (0.-72)wt.% and carbon (0-0.5)wt.%.
  • Such substrates are described in German OLS No. 2450664.

  • chemical vapour deposition from ZrCl 4 can be used to form a layer of Pt 3 Zr, or electrodeposition may be used either from aqueous or fused salt electrolysis to give the requisite compound.
  • the objective is to form a layer of a firmly adherent, intermetallic compound on the wires of the gauze pack or other substrate.
  • the metals forming the intermetallic compound are prepared as an appropriate solution in water or an organic solvent.
  • the compound is caused to deposit upon the metallic substrate or gauze by the addition of a reducing agent.
